[Inside Russia] (https://www.youtube.com/@INSIDERUSSIA) YouTuber Konstantin Samoilov exposes what life under Vladimir Putin has been like &mdash; from fleeing mobilization to facing KGB threats abroad. What We Discuss with Konstantin Samoilov: ---Why someone who has lived through the transition of Russia from a Soviet superpower to an oligarchic dictatorship now lives in the United States and sleeps with one eye open. ---How the arrival of companies like McDonald's in the 1990s had a significant psychological impact on Russians, challenging their perceptions of the West. ---The stark differences between American meritocracy and the "blat" (nepotism) system prevalent in Russia, which limits opportunities for those without connections. ---How, contrary to official propaganda, the Russian economy is suffering due to sanctions, brain drain, a mass population exodus of three million, and a focus on military production at the expense of other sectors. ---Why Russian state media has shifted from focusing solely on controlling internal narratives to actively trying to shape international perceptions of Russia. ---And much more...

1020: Sovereign Citizens | Skeptical Sunday

Is there a legal "cheat code" for avoiding US laws? [Michael Regilio] (https://www.instagram.com/michaelregilio/) investigates this and other wild things sovereign citizens believe on Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by skeptic, comedian, and [podcaster] (https://www.michaelregiliocomedy.com/podcast) Michael Regilio! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: ---The Sovereign Citizen Movement is a fringe group that believes they are not subject to US laws or government authority. They often engage in pseudo-legal arguments and tactics to avoid taxes, licenses, and other societal obligations. The ideology has spread beyond the US to countries like Canada, the UK, Australia, and parts of Europe, indicating it's a growing international phenomenon. ---The movement has roots in anti-Semitism, white nationalism, and conspiracy theories. It appeals to people in financial distress by promising ways to eliminate debts and access secret government accounts. ---Sovereign citizen beliefs have no legal validity and have never been successful in court. However, the movement has an estimated 200,000-300,000 adherents in the US. ---Some sovereign citizens have engaged in violence against law enforcement and government officials. The movement is considered one of the most dangerous domestic extremist groups by US authorities. ---While sovereign citizen beliefs are misguided and potentially dangerous, the best response is to promote good ideas and accurate information. By educating ourselves and others about the law, government, and civic responsibilities, we can help counter the spread of these harmful ideologies. ---Connect with Jordan on [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) , [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/jordanharbinger) , and [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/c/THEJORDANHARBINGERSHOW) .

1018: Phil Elwood | Manipulating Media for All the Worst Humans

[All the Worst Humans] (https://www.amazon.com/All-Worst-Humans-Dictators-Politicians/dp/1250321573/?tag=jordanharbing-20) author Phil Elwood is here to illustrate his past life as a PR operative who made powerful pariahs palatable to public perception! What We Discuss with Phil Elwood: ---Phil Elwood's career as a PR operative for notorious figures was essentially a real-life version of being a supervillain's henchman, involving ethically dubious practices to manipulate public perception. ---Phil's work took him into the belly of the beast, collaborating with shady organizations and visiting dangerous locations to spin narratives for some of the world's most detestable characters. ---The moral weight of constantly lying and bending the truth for nefarious clients exacted a heavy toll on Phil's mental health, leading to substance abuse and requiring intensive therapy. ---Phil's experiences provide a rare, candid glimpse into the dark underbelly of global PR and political spin, exposing the extent to which public perception can be contrived. ---Despite his ethically questionable past, Phil's story offers hope for redemption. He has since established clear moral boundaries in his work, demonstrating that it's possible to learn from past mistakes and align one's career with their values. ---And much more...

1017: The End of the World | Skeptical Sunday

If you're constantly obsessed over predictions that the end of the world is nigh, [Andrew Gold] (https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok/) has some (mostly) good news for us on this Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition ofThe Jordan Harbinger ShowwhereJordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we&rsquo;re joined by [On the Edge] (https://www.andrewgoldpodcast.com/) host Andrew Gold! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: ---Throughout history, would-be prophets and doomsaying groups have predicted the end of the world, but all have been wrong so far. This includes religious prophecies, cult beliefs, and misinterpretations of ancient calendars like the 2012 Mayan prediction. ---The concept of the end of the world is often used by religions and cults to control their members, instilling fear and promoting compliance with their rules and beliefs. ---There are several potential threats to humanity's survival, including climate change, nuclear war, pandemics, resource depletion, and the development of artificial intelligence. However, the likelihood of these causing a complete end to humanity is debated. ---The Fermi Paradox and the concept of the Great Filter suggest that advanced civilizations may face barriers to long-term survival, which could explain why we haven't encountered alien life despite the vastness of the universe. ---While concerns about global threats are valid, it's important to maintain perspective and not become overly anxious. Humanity has shown resilience and innovation in the face of past challenges. By staying informed, curious, and skeptical, we can work towards addressing potential threats and shaping a positive future for ourselves and future generations. ---Connect with Jordanon [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) , [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/jordanharbinger) , and [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/c/THEJORDANHARBINGERSHOW) .

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by skeptic, comedian, and [podcaster] (https://www.michaelregiliocomedy.com/podcast) Michael Regilio! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: ---Milk consumption by adults has not been natural for most of human history. About 65% of the global population has reduced ability to digest lactose, with some populations experiencing nearly 100% lactose intolerance. ---The dairy industry, with government support, has heavily promoted milk consumption despite questionable health benefits. This includes school milk programs and marketing campaigns like "Got Milk?" ---Raw milk can be dangerous, potentially causing diseases like typhoid and tuberculosis. Pasteurization made milk safer, but the dairy industry initially resisted it. ---The US government has repeatedly subsidized and bailed out the dairy industry, including buying surplus milk and cheese. This has led to an artificial inflation of the dairy market. ---Good news for the lactose averse: there are many alternative sources for the nutrients found in milk. People can obtain calcium from foods like almonds, figs, kale, tofu, and sweet potatoes. By exploring these options, people can make informed dietary choices that align with their health needs and preferences. ---Connect with Jordan on [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) , [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/jordanharbinger) , and [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/c/THEJORDANHARBINGERSHOW) .

What We Discuss with Dr. Anthony Fauci: ---The importance of transparency and honesty in public health communication, even when it means delivering inconvenient truths or disagreeing with political leaders. ---How social media and political polarization amplified attacks on public health officials and spread misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. ---Why the changing guidance on masks over the course of the pandemic was due to evolving scientific understanding, not flip-flopping. ---The potential for future respiratory pandemics and the need for ongoing preparedness, even when threats are not imminent. ---Dr. Fauci shares insights about his own career choices, including turning down high-paying private sector jobs to continue his work in public service. ---And much more...

1010: Participation Trophies | Skeptical Sunday

Are participation trophies ruining kids? [Jason Feifer] (https://www.jasonfeifer.com/) debunks myths and reveals the surprising century-long history behind the debate on Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by Jason Feifer, the editor in chief ofEntrepreneurmagazine, host of the [Build for Tomorrow] (https://www.jasonfeifer.com/build-for-tomorrow/) podcast, and author of [Build for Tomorrow: An Action Plan for Embracing Change, Adapting Fast, and Future-Proofing Your Career] (https://www.amazon.com/Build-Tomorrow-Embracing-Adapting-Future-Proofing/dp/059323538X/?tag=jordanharbing-20) . On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: <ul> <li>As it turns out, participation trophies aren't some newfangled millennial invention. These shiny symbols of showing up have been collecting dust on shelves since your great-grandpappy was in short pants. We're talking 1922, folks &mdash; when the biggest participation trophy was surviving the Spanish Flu!</li> <li>All of these folks bellyaching about participation trophies probably have a few lurking in their own attics. It's like complaining about kids these days and their gimmicky rock music while air-guitaring to Led Zeppelin. Pot, meet kettle &mdash; you're both made of participation trophy material.</li> <li>Despite what the armchair psychologists down at the local watering hole might tell you, there's no scientific evidence that participation trophies turn kids into snowflakes. As they grow, kids naturally get more interested in winning than just showing up &mdash; like trading in their tricycle for a Harley.</li> <li>The whole participation trophy hullabaloo is less about plastic awards and more about our collective freak-out over parenting, work ethic, and why these darn kids won't get off our lawns. It's just generational anxiety dressed up in a well-worn, borrowed suit.</li> <li>Want to level up your success game? Ditch the black-and-white thinking. Winning's got more flavors than Baskin-Robbins, so keep an open mind for what's possible. Embrace the past, eye the future, and you'll be batting home runs with life's curveballs like a pro.</li> <li>Connect with Jordanon [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) , [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/jordanharbinger) , and [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/c/THEJORDANHARBINGERSHOW) .

How can you get through this domestic minefield without blowing up your wife's relationship with her spendthrift sibling &mdash; and your sanity? ---You're a woman who's always played for Team Dude, but lately you've been crushing hard on your sapphic bestie. The long-term forecast is cloudy with a chance of identity crisis, but you can't get her out of your head. How will you solve this romantic Rubik's Cube without peeling off the stickers? ---Halfway through your Master of Legal Studies program, an ad for AI legal services popped up. Suddenly, your degree looks about as future-proof as a Blockbuster membership card.

1008: Brian Klaas | Embracing Uncertainty in a World of Flukes

Unexpected moments can change the world. [Brian Klaas] (https://brianpklaas.com/) , author of [Fluke] (https://www.amazon.com/Fluke-Chance-Chaos-Everything-Matters/dp/1668006529/?tag=jordanharbing-20) , reveals how embracing life's randomness can empower us to make a difference. What We Discuss with Brian Klaas: ---Tiny actions or events can have massive downstream effects and consequences, as illustrated by historical examples like how a decades-old vacation spared Kyoto from nuclear bombing in WWII. ---Our lives and human history are shaped by chaos theory and random flukes, such as the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs or chance evolutionary events that led to complex life. ---Humans have cognitive biases that make us seek patterns and explanations, even when events are random. This can lead to superstitions, conspiracy theories, and a false sense of control. ---Wealth and success are often more influenced by luck and arbitrary factors than we like to admit, challenging the idea of pure meritocracy. ---While we can't control everything, we can influence the world around us through our actions. By embracing this mindset, we can feel more empowered and find meaning in our daily choices, recognizing that even small moments can have a significant impact on the future. ---And much more...

1006: Dr. Ramani | Surviving and Recovering from Narcissistic Abuse

[It&rsquo;s Not You] (https://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-You-Identifying-Narcissistic/dp/0593492625/?tag=jordanharbing-20) author Dr. Ramani Durvasula is here to help us identify narcissists, overcome the abuse we suffer in relationships with them, and heal. What We Discuss with Dr. Ramani Durvasula: ---Narcissists can often be recognized by common traits like being know-it-alls, interrupting frequently, driving dangerously, throwing tantrums when frustrated, and displaying a strong sense of entitlement. But what kind of narcissists are you dealing with in your everyday life? ---Strategies for coping with narcissistic relationships when leaving is not an option. ---The role of cognitive dissonance in keeping people trapped in narcissistic relationships and how creating a written record of abusive behaviors can help overcome this psychological barrier. ---Growing up with a narcissistic parent can lead to difficulty forming one's own identity and a tendency to accommodate others' needs while suppressing one's own. This pattern can make a person more vulnerable to entering narcissistic relationships in adulthood. ---While it may seem daunting, healing from a narcissistic relationship is possible. By developing self-compassion, understanding that the abuse was not your fault, and gradually reclaiming aspects of your life that you enjoy (like hobbies, favorite foods, or social activities), you can begin to rebuild your sense of self and create a fulfilling life, even if the process takes time. ---And much more...

What We Discuss with David Fajgenbaum: ---Dr. David Fajgenbaum nearly died multiple times from a rare ailment called Castleman disease, for which there was no effective treatment available. ---The current healthcare system does not incentivize pharmaceutical companies to find new uses for existing drugs, especially for rare diseases, leaving many potential treatments undiscovered. ---Driven by his own experiences, Dr. Fajgenbaum realized that many existing FDA-approved drugs could be used to fight rare diseases for which they weren't originally intended. ---Dr. Fajgenbaum founded [Every Cure] (https://everycure.org/) , a nonprofit organization that uses AI to match existing drugs with rare diseases they could potentially treat, greatly accelerating the process of finding cures. ---You can make a positive impact by supporting organizations like [Every Cure] (https://everycure.org/) , which are working tirelessly to find treatments for rare diseases using innovative approaches. Consider donating to their cause, spreading awareness about their mission, or even sharing your own experiences with off-label drug use that has helped you or someone you know.

1002: Charan Ranganath | The Mysteries of Memory and Why We Remember

Forget what you thought you knew about memory! [Why We Remember] (https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Remember-Unlocking-Memorys/dp/038554863X/?tag=jordanharbing-20) author [Charan Ranganath] (https://charanranganath.com/) joins us to share surprising insights into how we recall the past. What We Discuss with Charan Ranganath: ---Memories are not literal recordings of the past, but are constructed in the moment based on bits and pieces of information. We often forget most details, and what we do remember can be distorted by our current context, beliefs, and the act of retelling memories. ---Emotion and attention play a key role in memory formation. Emotionally charged events tend to be remembered more vividly because chemicals like norepinephrine promote neural plasticity. Distinctive, attention-grabbing elements of an experience are more likely to be encoded into long-term memory. ---Memories can be unreliable in group settings due to interference between different people's recollections and the influence of dominant personalities. Eyewitness testimony is often flawed because of how malleable and suggestible human memory is. ---The sense that time is passing slowly or quickly is tied to the distinctiveness of our episodic memories. Repetitive, non-distinctive experiences (like pandemic lockdowns) can make days feel long but weeks pass in a blur due to a lack of memorable event boundaries. ---To improve your everyday memory, try to be mindful and limit distractions in the moment. You can deliberately create memory cues by vividly imagining a visual reminder that will help you recall information later. Diversifying your experiences and learning new things also helps keep your mind sharp and allows you to make creative connections. With some practice, you can harness your episodic memory to enrich your life. ---And much more...

1001: Haiti | Out of the Loop

Haiti Policy House founder Wolf Pamphile is here to explain why, despite the country's ongoing crises, he remains optimistic about Haiti's future. Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them. On This Episode of Out of the Loop, We Discuss: ---Haiti has a long history of instability, starting with its colonial past under France and Spain, followed by a devastating war for independence, and continuing with foreign interventions, dictatorships, natural disasters, and gang violence that have hindered its development. ---Foreign powers, including France, the United States, and the Dominican Republic, have played significant roles in Haiti's struggles &mdash; from the crippling debt imposed by France after independence to the US occupation in the early 20th century and the Dominican Republic's anti-Haitian policies. ---The 2010 earthquake was a devastating blow to Haiti, killing over 300,000 people and setting the country back decades in terms of infrastructure and development. This event, along with political instability, has contributed to the rise of powerful gangs that control much of the country. ---The current situation in Haiti is dire, with gangs controlling large parts of the capital, Port-au-Prince, and engaging in kidnappings, violence, and drug trafficking. The international community is attempting to intervene, with Kenya leading a police force to help stabilize the country, but the effectiveness of this intervention remains to be seen. ---Despite the challenges, there are reasons for optimism about Haiti's future. A new generation of Haitians, both in Haiti and abroad, are working toward a better future for their country. Political groups are coming together to find consensus on the way forward, and organizations like the Haiti Policy House are ensuring that Haitian voices are heard in discussions about the country's future. While the road ahead is difficult, with determination, unity, and international support, Haiti can overcome its challenges and build a brighter future for its people. ---And much more! ---Connect with Jordanon [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) , on [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/jordanharbinger) , and on [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/c/THEJORDANHARBINGERSHOW) .
